No, if you see the wheels in person, they look very little like the 2/5s. Also, I don't think Carlsson makes their wheels, so it would be highly unlikely that they make the Kleemann wheels.

Carlsson does not make their wheels, they are subcontracted to Ronal and OZ.
None of the tuners make their own wheels. The wheels are designed by the tuner and the build is sbcontracted, usu. to one or both of those companies.

KLEEMANN wheels
I am aware of no tuning company that makes their own wheels. Most tuners are not foundries- subcontracting wheels is standard business. Most tuners can design whatevr they want in terms of hub and rim design and have a wheel company produce them. KLEEMANN wheels are not produced or contacted through Carlsson. KLEEMANN wheels are not made by Ronal or OZ, but an Italian wheel manufacturer that supplies many third party manufacturers and tuners.

The new BBS wheels are not LMs. They are made out of magnesium, and have a round center rather than the flat one of the LMs. They are not as shiny as the LMs are either. While they are slightly lighter, I've heard that the LMs look nicer and both cost about the same.
